PageSix reports that the deal was brokered by the New York state attorney general’s office in its class-action lawsuit against The Weinstein Company.
The states that former employees of the movie mogul who “experienced a hostile work environment, sexual harassment and gender-based discrimination” are eligible for part of the compensation fund.

However, the agreement still needs to be approved by the district court presiding over the case.
Weinstein was found guilty of forcibly performing oral sex on former “Project Runway” staffer Miriam “Mimi” Haleyi in 2006 and raping hairstylist Jessica Mann in 2013.
He was sentenced to 23 years in prison.
